reg key XP get ostype

We have a login script, batch file. We need a portion of it executed only if the ostype is XP. Was thinking about something like reading the registry key product name with reg query.

IF something GOTO next ELSE GOTO exit

How can i do this?

Ok, thanks. How can i use this in a batch script?

pritamsh

@echo OFF

setlocal ENABLEEXTENSIONS
set KEY_NAME="HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor"
set VALUE_NAME=DefaultColor

FOR /F "usebackq skip=4 tokens=1-3" %%A IN (`REG QUERY %KEY_NAME% /v %VALUE_NAME% 2^>nul`) DO (
set ValueName=%%A
set ValueType=%%B
set ValueValue=%%C
)

if defined ValueName (
@echo Value Name = %ValueName%
@echo Value Type = %ValueType%
@echo Value Value = %ValueValue%
) else (
@echo %KEY_NAME%\%VALUE_NAME% not found.
)

You can try the following code.

set Version=
for /f "skip=1" %%v in ('wmic os get version') do if not defined Version set Version=%%v
for /f "delims=. tokens=1-3" %%a in ("%Version%") do (
  set Version.Major=%%a
  set Version.Minor=%%b
  set Version.Build=%%c
)

set GTR_XP=
if %Version.Major%==5 if %Version.Minor% GTR 1 set GTR_XP=1
if %Version.Major% GTR 5 set GTR_XP=1

if defined GTR_XP (
  ...
)

Open in new window

reg query "hklm\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion" /v productname | findstr /c:"Windows XP"
if errorlevel 1 echo Not XP and goto :EOF
echo XP!!
